Symposium

On October 15, 2014, we gathered at the Harvard Club in Boston to celebrate 10 years of leading research, thank our founders and friends, honor Charles Collier, and get an update on Alzheimer's science from Dr. Rudy Tanzi.

At Cure Alzheimer's Fund's 10th anniversary celebration, we honored Alzheimer's advocate Charles Collier for his incredible work fighting the stigma surrounding Alzheimer's disease. Collier is a former senior philanthropic advisor to Harvard University who was diagnosed with early onset AD in 2008. His successor at Harvard, Mr. Alastair Halliday, provided some congratulatory remarks.

Dr. Rudy Tanzi, chairman of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Consortium, presents on the current state of Alzheimer's research. Dr. Tanzi focuses on the importance of the recent "Alzheimer's in a Dish" study.

Ten years ago, our founders started Cure Alzheimer's Fund out of frustration with the slow pace and limited funding of research. Since then, we've funded dozens of ground-breaking studies that have enhanced our understanding of Alzheimer's disease and brought us closer to a cure.

Update: Please note that the live stream is now beginning at 3:15 p.m. EDT, not 3:30.

For our friends and supporters around the world, we will be live streaming our annual scientific symposium on our website. Please join us on Wednesday, Oct. 15 to learn about how Alzheimer’s develops and the exciting progress that has been made toward eradicating the disease.
